I don't think expressing my opinion translates into diefication.

I never used the word masterpiece. I mentioned J9 to illustrate diversity. Unless of course you are referring to a review i posted some time ago. But even then i didn't ever say masterpiece. Granted i raved about the dub track on it. But how often does a *real* dub track pop up on a techno 12"? Now if i wanted to use the word masterpeice i would have mentioned J4 and J5.

what they are fed on the radio. Aside from being really wrong, it makes you sound really pretentious. In fact i wonder if dance music is the only music you listen to. If it is i wouldn't suggest preaching diversity.

I really dont think you guys are talkin about the same track. The track TeeP is talkin about is by no means 150bpm if I understand which one he's referring too. Incidentally, I have got my hands on another pair of J9's if anyones interested. flu'id (floo'-)

Its dub if you play it at 33. Unfortunately, the correct speed for this EP is 45, check the samples. Then it becomes more of the same. Dub doth not run at 150 bpm.

Who was it who was saying that Rich is the only person blazing trails in a sea of mediocrity? Looks like the stuff in your crate is very OLD, you yourself said that word many times. More confirmation that you aren't investigating or listening to much new stuff.

You wonder wrong. Aside from the occasional noize purchase, I maintain the Police list and have a small passion for American indy labels like Simple Machines. The bands I travelled to see last year were My Bloody Valentine/Yo La Tengo and Nick Cave. I don't go around making statements like "The Orb is the only innovator in music today."
